Voices Hopes Os Settlement At Studebaker SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPD— Federal and state mediators said Monday they were still hopeful an honorable settlement could be made in the 15-day-old strike by 6.500 United Auto Workers at the Studebaker-Packard Corp, here. State Labor Commissioner Robert P. Butler said both sides met in a joint session Monday and another such meeting was planned for today. He said there were still some major problems but both parties were still “quite friendly.” Meanwhile, an S-P spokesman said sales of Studebaker-Packard cars were doing “fairly well” but that orders were down. He said sales in the first 10-day period ir 1962 were about 23 per cent above the same 10-day period last year. "Die spokesman said 40 per cent of the sales made since the new model was introduced on Dec. 31 were on pre-ordered production. He said the company had no way of estimating the loss of those sales but that it “might be half.” The firm has about a 39-day supply of automobile on hand to nrleet the needs of salesmen and dealers throughout the country, the spokesman said. But. he said, a military truck contract that was to begin Jan. 2 has not yet moved. In addition, 3,000 cars ordered by the federal government have not been made and there were 2.000 unfilled orders in California, he said. Butler said that the “status

quo” on the picket lines had been very helpful while negotiations were going on. One big stumbling block in this respect was removed over the weekend when the company agreed not to ship anything from the plant by truck until at least Wednesday. Saturday, a group of Local 5 pickets had tried to halt shipments of parts from the plant. No parts were being shipped into the plant. The biggest difficulty in the talks seemed to be over “wash up” time. The company had offered 25 minutes for relief time, one minute more than its competitors, but the union wanted to keep the present 39-minute relief time. The strike began Jan. 1 at-mid-night. It was the first time in the history of the plant that all sal- j aried workers, including guards and maintenance personnel, had been called out. On Jan. 8. the U.S. Mediation and Conciliation Service appointed a special three-member panel, i headed by Walter Maggiolo, to help settle the strike. They have been meeting with both sides since ; that time. ' Butler said he didn’t know when settlement w'ould come but that j “we have to be hopeful.” Sunday j he said that signing of a new three-year contract could come as early as Wednesday Three-Alarm Fire At Capital Today INDIANAPOLIS (UPD-A three-, alarm fire swept a block-long building of a paint manufacturing firm today, causing a loss esti-. mated at $300,000 and authorities believed a safecracker’s torch set off the blaze.

New Albany Hospital Closes Doors Monday NEW ALBANY, Ind. (UPD—St. Edward’s Hospital, a 136-bed ini stitution who has served New Albany and the surrounding area for nearly 60 years, closed its doors Monday. Sister M. Leonarda, administrator of the hospital which was operated by Sisters of St. Francis of the Perpetual Adoration, said it was closed because of the inability of the religious order of staff and finance it. Plans to close were announced months ago but the actual closing was delayed several times so that a hospital bed shortage in the .area could be avoided while new facilities were being constructed at Floyd County Memorial Hospital. The last patient to leave St. i Edward’s was Gayle S. Cato, R.R. 2, Georgetown, who was transferred by ambulance to Floyd Memorial. By the time Cato left, workmen already were removing telephones, vending machines and other equipment. Sister Leonarda sad she and other sisters will reman at the hospital until final business is cleared up later ttrfs week Sisters who were on duty here will return to the mother-: house at Mishawaka pending the issuance of orders for their new assignments. The cornerstone of St, Edward's was laid in 1901, and the hospital was dedicated in 1902. A 1960 state hospital directory showed that Si. Edward’s had 114 medical and surgical beds and 22 obstetrical beds.

Commissioners To Name ABC Member The Adams county commissioners, in their regular meeting Monday, set next Monday, Jan. 22, as the date for appointment of a member of the Adams county alcoholic beverages board. The appointment is for the term of Harold Teeter, who was appointed last year for a oneyear term. Teeter may be reappointed, or a new member appointed. David Macklin, county attorney, informed the commissioners Monday that he had received word from the state alcoholic beverages commission, explaining that the commissioners may appoint either a Democrat or a Republican to serve on the board. Law states lhat the board must be bi-partisan, that two member" of each party should serve, including the representative sent ■‘rom Indianapolis for the hearings held here. Macklin said that the state commission explained to him that of the three man board in this county, the commissioners may appoint either a Democrat or a Republican, and the state representative will balance out the board. State Makes Adjustment Presently, including Teeter, there are two Republicans and one Democrat serving on the board. The representative sent during the past year has been a Democrat, which makes the board bi-partisan. If the commissioners appoint a Democrat to fill this year’s term in the place of Teeter, a Republican, the board would then contain two Democrats and one Republican, and the state commission would make the adjustment by sending a Republican representative. In their meeting Monday the commissioners went over inventories handed in by the various county officials, and received a communication from the: assistant engineer of county federal aid, giving approval for the construction of flashing signals at the railroad crossing in Peterson. A communication was read from the Ohio Oil Co., explaining that the price of diesel fuel has gone up from $.1025, to a price
